WHITE APP PACK MARE . M, APPALOOSA,
| Dam of Old Painter: Old Painter, snow white with black spots over the hips, at the time belonged to Fred Busby, the son of Chas., and was a six year old. For the record, he was first noticed as a colt around Prairie City and Fossil, Oregon, following a white mare who was used s a pack animal and who was owned by an old prospector. The colt was taken for a grubstake or gambling debt and subsequently sold to Fred Busby. The story on his sire, although it never has been actually substantiated, was that he was by a bay stallion, half "thoroughbred" and half "standerdbred".
